use code tags as your code is impossible to read this way. You also don't indicate where the problem is

I guess soem of your converting to integer from stirng throuwn an exception.
Please double check if your textBoxes which MUST have integers only, do really have them. My guess is that is one of them textboxes there is not only a number inside (a number without any decimal places -thats an integer).

What you can do, to make sure this kind of exception will not happen again, is to use some int checking (I will only show you two examples, for the rest do it by your own):

string payNoSp = PayNoSp.Text;
string addsp = Addsp.Text;
if(int.TryParse(payNoSp, out paynosp) && int.TryParse(addsp, out spAdd))
{
     if (stype == "Baptismal")
     {
         stypeid += "1";
         payfp += "200";
     }
     //and rest of the code here bellow...
}
else
     MessageBox.Show("Please insert only numbers for appropaite fields.");
